CARE OF LIVE STOCK IN FEBRUARY.-
Sheep.-Providew warm stables for ewes near
lambing, and see that the lambs are not
chilled. They should have roots rather
than grain at this period. Cosos.-Milk up
tolerably close to calving if the milk is
coed If a cow goes dry four weeks it is
usually enough. If there is danger OF milk
fever-and there always is with large and
rich milkers-do not milk clean, nor let the
calf do so, for fully three days. SO long as
the colostrum can be detected in the milk.
PouHry.-Ne.doubt well-managed incu,
bator pays well for Matching hens eggs and
ducks eggs. Good cross-bred fowls are
more profitable for market than full breds.
Always use full blood ROSTERS and COOLERS.
Ducks and geese are best bred pure, except,
perhaps, when non-breeding hybrids are
desired, crossing common ducks with Mus
covies and tame geese with the wild gan
der. These are far superior for the table,
and bring proportionately higher price
when known.-American Agricalturist for
February.

4 Valuable Lion Killed.
KENNEDY, THE KING OF BARNUM's SHOW,
DESPATCHED WITH CHLOROFORM.

BRIDGEPORT. January 19-The noble
African lion Kennedy, aged twenty years,
and valued at So GOO, who has delighted
children all over the country as he rode
perched on one of the large chariots in the
street pageants of the great Barnum Lon
don circus, was killed this noon at the win
ter quarters in this city, in the presence of
fifty spectators Mr.. Barnum and nearly
all the physicians of the city were present.
The huge beast has been suffering for the
past year with spinal meningitis, aud the
case was pronounced incurable. 1t has
been a question how TO best kill the animal
without causing an uproar among the hun
dreds of Gagged beasts. Finally it was de-
cided to use chloroform, and Dr.. Robert
was appointed executioner. George W
johnson, Kennedy's keeper, arranged the
preliminaries by securely binding the lions
feet to opposite sides of the cage to prevent
him from thrashing about or breaking away.
A large wire basket was lined with rubber
cloth, and into this was placed three-quar-
tiers of pound Of chloroform. The cloth
was then tied over Kennejy's neck and in
halation began. For about two minutes
tue lion struggled frantically to release his
head, and then be gradually succumbed to
the auasthetic. In six minutes he was
pronounced dead.
The skin and skeleton of the beast will
be forwarded to Prof. Ward at Rochester
TO he stuffed and mounted. They will then
find their place in the Barnum Museum At
Tufts College, Boston. The heart and liver
were presented to DR.. George F. Lewis If
the Bridgeport Hospital for preservation.

q VALUABLE FARM FoR SALE.

In consequence of business engagements in
another State, which will require my personal
attention, / offer for sale privately, my farm
living three miles North OF Staunton, and
about quarter of a mile East of the Valley
Turnpike. The tract is part of the old Wayt
Bell farm, and contains
1870 ACRES
of fine land, admirably located and in a high
state OF cultivation. This land has long been
and is regarded as oae of the best tracts in the
county. 1t has been greatly improved In the
past few years and is now In excellent cond1-
tion throughout. A new plank fence extends
along the entire front. and all of the cross
fences are in thorough order.
The improvements
consist of roomy and well-arranged A=.A
Frame Dwelling, neai ly new. situated EHs#
In large grove of native oaks, and oc- 49,
cupying an eminence from which one of the
most beautiful and extensive viewsin the val

ample and in excellent repai'. young and
vigorous orchard of choice fruit Will in year

A CATAsTROPHE.

The cat stood on the freezing fence,
Where he for Jun had fed.
At midnight prompt did he commence
To paint the backyard red.
There demon-like and black he screamed
AS bound to fool the storm
or missiles, which from windows streameo
Straight at his fur-off form.
Boofjacks rolled on. He would not 60
Without Maria's word;
Maria In the kitchen low
His yowls no longer heard.
"Maria," Mr.. Thomas cried.
maria, must I stay7"
And but the booming boots replied
That fast were thrown away.
Then came gunshots Thunder sound;
The cat-oh, where was he?
Ask of his fragments strewed around
In that catastrophe.
With boot acks. bricks, and many swear,
The sleepers did their part,
But the noblest thing which persisted there
Was that old cat SO smart.

The Femala BOOK Arent.

The latest dodge of the female book
agent is TO get a room in q fashionable
boarding house, pay two weeks rent in
advance, move in her stock of books and
sell them to the boarders without letting
them know who she is. When asked for
references she brings cut a letter from the
publisher for whom she works or his
local agent. A New York boarding house
keeper tells how she discovered an agent
in beautiful widow who was stopping
with her: ION Sunday the widow came
into the parlor with her arms full Of Illus
trated books Of history and portfolios of
engravings. She had thought some Of
us might like to look over her collection, ,
she said, and Of course we did not object,
although commenced to think my new
lodger was taking great deal of pains to
please the comparative strangers. / looked
over some of them myself and listened to
her explain that they were from a cOIlec-
ton Of dear friend, who had asked her
to take them to q second hand store the
next day and sell them.
"All Of sudden It struck me es quite
peculiar that every one of those books was
new, and had been published recently.
Moreover, they were ell published By one
man, and that one man was the gentle
man who had sent me such warm COM
mendation Of my new boarder. shut up
the book vas looking at, and began to
think and listen and watch. The widow
by this time was surrounded by dozen
Of my gentlemen boarders and three or
four ladies, and was discoursing on the
merits of the books. In ten minutes she
had sold book to every young man there;
simply charmed the money out of them
by the power Of her beauty. She was so
glad, she said, to think that her dear
friend would realize at least portion of
what the books were worth &c Chicago
ESws.
